This church was one of our stops during our 2 hour River City Segs tour this past weekend. When we walked inside, we just thought.... Wow!! How beautiful!! As an organist, I was blown away to see such a magnificent pipe organ and the stained glass windows are stunning. We also got a brief history lesson from our awesome guide,... More

Our guide was very well-versed on the history of the church and made... More

This church was the location of Patrick Henry's famous Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death speech, as well as continuing to be an active church. The visitor center staff were very friendly, knowledgable, and made us feel very welcome. The costumed interpreter was wonderful, spending extra time with us after the talk to answer our questions (it pays to... More

"Give me Liberty or give me Death" This is the place where Patrick Henry made his impassioned speech for independence and the formation of a new nation. Excellent tour with great interpretation of the events that transpired here.
